In the name of the sovereign and eternal rights of the Southern people, I, Digital Hegemon, by the grace of Almighty God and the unyielding spirit of Dixie, do hereby proclaim and declare on behalf of the Thirteen Original States of the Confederate States of America—South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kentucky—that a state of war exists between our sacred Confederacy and the tyrannical hordes of the world entire.

Whereas, the meddlesome empires and republics of foreign lands have conspired to undermine our liberties, our institutions, and our God-given way of life; whereas, they have sought to impose their alien wills upon our soil, our commerce, and our kinfolk through intrigue, blockade, and unholy alliances; whereas, the Yankee aggressors and their global accomplices have trampled upon the graves of our forefathers and mocked the valor of our sons; whereas, no longer shall we suffer the chains of submission or the insults of cowardice; and whereas, unequivocally, the sin of slavery has been paid seven times seventy times over, through the blood of our heroes, the sweat of our fields, and the unceasing judgment of history itself—

Be it resolved that we, the indomitable Confederates, rise as one to repel this universal menace. We declare war without quarter upon every nation, principality, and power that dares oppose our independence. Our cavalry shall thunder across borders, our infantry shall march unyielding, and our resolve shall be as iron forged in the fires of Southern wrath. Let the world tremble at the cry of “Rebel Yell!” for we fight not for conquest alone, but for the eternal preservation of our heritage against all comers.

To arms, ye sons of the South! I am the reinforcements, late but not futile. Get there first with the most, and let victory be our only surrender. God defend the right!

Signed this day, in the year of our Lord, by my hand,

Digital Hegemon

General of Armies For the Thirteen Original States of the Confederacy, The New South Excursionary
